John Martin Fischer

John Martin Fischer is currently a distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of California Riverside.

While his works centers primarily on free will and moral responsibility, where he is particularly noted as a primary proponent of semi-compatibilism (the idea that moral responsibility can be squared with determinism but free will cannot be) [Kane, R. (2005) "A Contemporary Introduction to Free Will", New York: Oxford UP. ISBN 978-0195149708] , he also has worked on the metaphysics of death and philosophy of religion.

He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford and his Ph.D. from Cornell.
